fish or cut bait

any luck?
so-so.
what are you using for bait?
my ex-partner.
your. . . what?
he was a crook. got what was coming to him. now he's fish food.
might be an acquired taste.
I figure by this time tomorrow the fish will decide they like him.
the, uh, bait will last that long?
oh yeah. he was a big guy. there's plenty of him left.
that's so good to know.
